The problem with knowing when in time the show is taking place is that it depends on the story line. Haylen's been around for a few weeks yet Danny's been injured for months and Lucy was born 10 months ago. Who knows what the hell time frame the rest of the characters are dealing with. I have a hard time believing the casual viewer doesn't notice crap like that. My mom, who watches occasionally and usually reads the paper when she is watching, made a comment about how quickly Danny was able to stand after Hawkes gave him the speech in therapy.
The only way TPTB can justify this is that they're catering to Carmine/Danny fangirls who don't want to see the hot guy struggle with recovery and just want to see him get better ASAP with the support of his loving, perfect wife. :gag: Either that or they're just too damned lazy to write it in a believable manner and don't think enough of their audience to assume anyone would notice.
